Summary
I build companies and invest in ideas and people. "In" for sweat, capital, and staying the course (high grit, high integrity). I believe in continuous learning, establishing new ideas/categories/industries, and working to create lifelong relationships and great teams. I'm open to breakthroughs, curious about genius, and game for discussing wild science, ideas for good, and winning up a level. Today: building again. 0 to 1. And, I'm on the board of AdRoll. Past: AdRoll, HomeRun, Slide, Clarium Capital Management, PayPal, Justarrive. Also, lots of studio/incubation/projects/R&D at Pale Blue Dot (Worldly), Midtown Doornail (Avocado, Bounce, other machine voice/voice AI projects), and at MRL Ventures (Chatango, Yelp, Adzaar).
